My back muscles, sometimes it hurts just to hold a cup of coffee and walk with it. When it's like that, I don't ride for days and bus it to work instead (where even the stop start motion of the bus causes pain).

Had a fall while commuting home a few weeks ago and damaged some ligaments and tendons in my left arm and shoulder. It's healing, but the GP reckons I'll be off the bike until at least the end of this month. PT sucks.

+1 on the days I dont commute buy bike are those that I need to pick up/drop off the kids. (the other days I drive are few, but fit into the other thread)

Also drove for the last couple of weeks of my wifes pregnancy "just in case", turned out to be some rides missed, but didn't fancy the thought of racin got the hospital in my riding gear and a lather of sweat.

bychosis (bahy-koh-sis): A mental disorder of delusions indicating impaired contact with a reality of no bicycles.

3. The rider being sick4. Broken bicycles (having only one bicycle is not honorable ).

Just recently we (me, wife & bub) all had a nasty cold. I drove in a few days after I was better just to make sure I did not make myself sick again. My Dr has told me off for riding with a mild fever before.

No full time job until the econmey turns aroundPart time job 400m down the street quicker to walk.

BCC give us some more bikeways fore safe travel!!!!Upgrade the NCL now QR!!!!!!http://nakedcyclistbrissy.blogspot.com/My views do not represent any organisation I may be apart of unless otherwise stated

Just coming out the end of a full week of too many places to go, too far apart, with too much stuff. Two days I've even helped cause peak hour traffic, retch. And throughout, I've been lethargic, stressed, forgetful, indecisive and whiny. Wonder if there's a connection?! And so many other people do that to themselves daily, week in, week out

Welp, I was geared up to do my first commute on my shiny new road bike tomorrow, and I've just hacked the criminy whatsits out of the base of my thumb cooking dinner. So, yeah, not looking too positive. Respect the Global knives, people, never ever get complacent with them ...
